Default 2001 GS battery replacement?

I apparently require a new one according to the dealership along with some filters (cabin/engine). Does anyone know where I can get a good battery or what would be a good recomendation? I am in Vancouver

seems like you have a bit of an audio upgrade over the stock unit.

you may want to consider something better than oem battery. your best bet would be audio installer. I got my last battery from soundsgood auto. when my current one dies, im looking at the kinetic or shureken batteries from them.

well, currently running a big marina battery that keith sourced out for me at soundsgood. having alternator issues, going to see how long this last as I just installed a new higher amp output alternator.

if this marina battery dies, then its onto a shureken or kenetic battery

for those ppl that argue, the battery is heavy. I remind them im not a small guy, my car is around 4500lbs w/ everything + me in it, so a slightly heavier battery is like putting whip cream on a stick of butter. the calorie addition is negligent
